Heard 'Em Say [Michel Gondry Video]

And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow todayFrom the Chi, like Tim its the Hard-a-waySo this is in the name of love, like Rob would sayBefore you ask me to get a job todayCan I at least get a raise on a minimum wage?And I know the government administered AIDSSo I guess we just pray like the minister sayAllahu Akbar and throw 'em some hot carsThings we seen on the screen are not oursBut these niggas from the hood so these dreams not farWhere I'm from, the dope boys is the rock starsBut they can't cop cars without seein' cop carsI guess they want us all behind bars, I know it

Uh, and I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow todayAnd I heard 'em say (nothin's ever promised tomorrow today) but we'll find a way(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)

They say people in your life are seasonsAnd anything that happen is for a reasonAnd niggas guns clappin' and keep to squeezin'And Gran' keep prayin' and keep believin'And Jesus, and one day that she'll see himTill they walk in his footsteps and try to be himThe devil is alive I feel him breathin'Claimin' money is the key so keep on dreamin'And put those lottery tickets just to tease usMy aunt Pam can't put those cigarettes downNow my lil' cousin smokin' those cigarettes nowHis job trying to claim that he too nigger-ish nowIs it 'cause his skin blacker than licorice now?I can't figure it out, I'm sick of the noun

Uh, and I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow todayAnd I heard 'em say (nothin's ever promised tomorrow today) but we'll find a way(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)

Cause every worthless word we got more far awayAnd nothing's ever promised tomorrow todayAnd nothing lasts forever but be honest babeIt hurts but it may be the only way
